HARMONY DAY 2019 This year it has never been more poignant. A day to consider our national conversation, our direction, our treatment of every human being on the planet. Look around you - the world is full of inspiring colour. Embrace it with all your heart !

Check out our latest BLOG - 'RREPP's Fairtrade Sports Balls - Conquering Exploitation' - ethical purchasing by Schools & Sporting Clubs needs to be a hotter topic than what it presently is !!! Fairtrade Australia https://www.rrepp.com.au/62/blog

It's INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY. And today RREPP in conjunction with an altruistic donor who has strong connections to PNG, landed 180 of our Gender Equality Fairtrade Rugby League Balls into PNG that will link in with some of the NRL's Women's programs. Programs that not only get girls and women learning the skills of Rugby League, they also address major issues such as Gender Equality and Violence Against Women which are very close to RREPP's heart. There are 3 common denominators in Papua New Guinea. ONE is God. TWO is Tok Pisin which is the language spoken. And THREE is Rugby League. The people are so fanatical about Rugby League that it has become a fantastic tool for educating PNG kids, both in and out of the classrooms, on important social issues. In PNG, when you say the words 'Rugby League' everyone sits up and takes notice. Creating awareness of Gender Equality and Violence Against Women through Sport, is going to be a major focus for RREPP moving forward, as we continue to expand our impact in the world as a progressive and highly innovative social enterprise Fairtrade Australia Fairtrade International Power Meri KTF SolarBuddy.org On Track Expeditions PNG Orchids Image 1 : courtesy of PNG Orchids

Wise words !

Child Labour is still a scourge on the sports ball manufacturing industry globally. Surely it's time for Australian Schools and Sporting Clubs to open their eyes and start supporting Fairtrade. Most to this point score an 'F' on their report cards ! #leadership #fairtrade #fairplay
